Natural habitats tend to contribute to biodiversity, by clear predator-prey interactions and by definite niches up and down the food web. They have worked this out over time. So they can be shaken up by the introduction of non-natives that have not taken part in this process. For example, the pecan industry in Georgia was concerned about pecan-eating aphids. Native ladybugs were not effective controls. So Asian ladybugs were introduced, but without their natural controls and enemies. They solved the pecan-eating aphid problem. But they became serious pests of grapes. Just one of them in wine ruined the entire bottle. And they preyed on native ladybug food sources, and on native ladybugs. In contrast, artificial habitats tend to contribute to biodiversity, by protection of types of environments and life forms that are vanishing. That is one of the roles of apiaries, aquaria, water gardens, and zoos. It tends to be less complete a habitat than the natural. For many pieces of the jigsaw picture may be missing.

What plants are suitable for a roof garden?
When considering a roof garden, the best plants to use are the species that contribute most to the biodiversity of the area. Biodiversity is the natural way in which ecosystems are formed; human endeavor has impacted very negatively on biodiversity which has resulted in a radical decline of species. The right vegetation in roof gardens encourages biodiversity, the use of plants that are indigenous to the area, is therefore generally regarded as best practice.
